[Avodah] Women and Matzah

[Saul Mashbaum]

RMBerger:

>>
This distinction, **as well as the numerous other exceptions to the rule
of mitzvos asei shehazman gerama** (emphasis mine SM) , led RSRH to suggest
that there is
a second, unstated, criterion -- that the mitzvah must also relate to
man's calling to "mil'u es ha'aretz vikivshuha".
>>

An informative quibble:
In fact, the exceptions to the rule that "mitzvos asei shehazman gerama
nashim pturot" are few
indeed : pesach (sh'chitato vachilato), matza, kiddush on Shabbat, and
simchat yom tov. See Rambam AZ 12:3.

R Asher Weiss indicated in his shiur yesterday that women may also be
obligated min haTorah in sippur y'tziat mizraim.
